When a man Victor Dean falls down the stairs in the offices of Pym's Publicity, a respectable London advertising agency, it looks like an accident. Then Lord Peter Wimsey is called in, and he soon discovers there's more to copy writing than meets the eye-- cocaine, blackmail, and some wanton women can be read between the lines.

This may be my favorite Wimsey book. A peek at the British class system, cricket, and hilarious adverts from back in the day. Wimsey is not quite deified yet, as I think he is in “Gaudy Night.”

Probably my second favorite of her novels. I love the way it's written and all of the advertising slogans.
